PROBLEM: Drives exhibit: 1.) Large numbers of Uncorrectable ECC
errors, and 6-8 symbols in errors. 2.) Occurrence was predominately on
the first 5 heads. 3.) Occurrence was presominately from cylinder 1900
thru 2649. 3.) BBR was being invoked and the blocks were being
replaced about 80% of the time.
FIELD EFFECTIVITY: Must be installed on all SA600/RA90 Drives running
with Drive Microcode Revision 7 or earlier.
QUICK CHECK: The customer applications/operations that are prone to
show this syndrome are: 1.) At HSC Console, perform ">SHOW DISK".
Version number is displayed as MC=8 or later. 2.) At the HSC, perform
a SHOW DISKS and verify the HV and MC revisions of the drive. Each
RA90 upgraded should reflect HV=17 and MC=8 (or later).
